Arctic Technician and Ships' Operations Manager

I am a marine biologist and oceanographer and previously worked as a Marine Assistant at the BAS Rothera Research Station.

I am currently working on the DIAPOD project analysing the lipid content of copepods to investigate how climate change affects the dominant Arctic zooplankton. I am also managing SAMS' research vessels.

My past time interests include racing gliders around the country, riding a bike or rock climbing - anything outdoors!

My role at SAMS

I am employed by SAMS to work on the exciting Changing Arctic Oceans, NERC-funded DIAPOD project. I will be working closely with David Pond on conducting lipid analysis of copepods with the overall aim to develop a predictive understanding of how the biomass dominant marine zooplankton taxon Calanus will be affected by future climate change in the Arctic.

I also manage SAMS' research vesselsresearch vessels.
